If you’re new or experienced, this is a great, inexpensive guide to walk you through preventative maintenance, and avoid costly repairs. Check what this reviewer had to say:

“This book is an excellent reference. The author covers many topics in this book: The basics of rving, with information on waste systems, outfitting the rig, towing, setting up camp, leaving camp; improving fuel economy and performance; troubleshooting rv engines; rv electronic systems; weight, handling, and safety; tire care; selecting a tow vehicle; towing safety, and much, much more. The level of detail in this book was not covered in any of the other books we read. In addition, the author puts helpful checklists into the book as well: ‘Used-Vehicle Evaluation Checklist’; ‘Dinghy Towing Inspection Checklist’; ‘A Propane System Checklist’; basic rv equipment lists; ‘Return-Trip Checklist’ and many more checklists. The information in this book is VERY helpful and VERY necessary for a first timer. This author not only wants to make you knowledgeable; he wants to make you SAFE, too.”
